But yes please ask him nicely for me to cough up $200,000 and I can watch some nice displays! It is coming up to Christmas
Actually, in the days before the Falcon, my buddy was flying a Citation for this rich bloke. It was as you described pretty much, old, and half the avionics were out of date. They left Vegas and in some bad weather they managed to fly pretty much through a thunderstorm as the wx radar wasn't working properly and experienced severe turbulence. This scared the owner so much, that the next day he agreed to a $200,000 avionics upgrade.

I suggest you find a few thunderheads and fly close to them
